xiphos (formerly gnomesword. A bible study application) Xiphos is a bible study program for GNOME. Xiphos is based on the Sword project by the CrossWire Bible Society. computer reading of the text using festival has not been tested. if it works let me know, and i'll remove these two lines from the readme. xiphos version 4.2.1 requires sword v1.8.1-3 or higher and biblesync v2.0.1 or higher xiphos needs a version of cmake 3.11 or higher. A private version is included in the slackbuild to enable xiphos to be built. If you want to use a different cmake to that included here, pass CMVERSION with the version you need (and make sure that the source tar.gz is available) There are a few new dependencies as the documentation is now created by the build process rather than shipped preprocessed in the source.
